Corporate Americas' bloat has been the butt of many jokes for decades. Big tech is just as guilty. They still do want to keep high performers, which is usually why its not just a layoff announced, but a "re-organization", aka lets move all the high graded employees to other orgs and fire the lower graded ones

Naw I think it's more "let's get rid of all these heavily overpaid employees and replace them with cheaper ones" :D

Especially the ones that spend all day bragging about how they're a top performer on hackernews. :D
